Low Price Up (4 Disc Combo Pack with Digital Copy and DVD) [Blu-ray]

I love Pixar films BUT.... wow. I must be nuts.

This movie, first of all, is not something I would bring my nieces to see. It was heavy, sad, depressing and there was no... "moral" to learn or "point." The old man does eventually "realize to live life" but seeing as how he had a long, beautiful life to start with... it made no sense at all that he was as grumpy and rotten as he was to begin with. The entire movie centers on this old man yearning for his dead wife and I'm not revealing a thing or spoiling a plot because that's the intro!! And then it goes on. He yearns for the wife. And on. Yearning for her. And on. Yearning! I don't see this as appropriate for anyone under the age of say, 13, and I can't imagine anyone at 13 would want to sit through that.

THEN. There is no plot.

SLIGHT SPOILER:

So this old man wants to move his house to the top of this waterfall to achieve the childhood dream his dead wife never got to see fulfilled. He takes this dream quite literally and moves the actual house to the waterfall... amazingly he gets to South America in a blink of an eye and a storm.... only to magically be at the waterfall but not quite close enough... so he wants to drag the house to the other side of the canyon to get to the exact position... and so he moves the house... and he moves the house... and this is the plot... the house, moving the house, getting the house just right... seriously?

There are obstacles that come between him and moving the house to the exact position he wants it in.

He also inexplicably moves in and out of jungle even though the landscape is shown to be a huge, rocky ledge.

Oh then there's the villain who is somehow still quite active and alive?... considering he must be over a century old. He also has been sitting in the jungle for oh, 60 years at least, and has had access to lots of fancy gidgets and wizmos and serves gourmet food.

I give it 2 stars for being colorful. Also, I did LOVE the promising, romantic, sweet intro... But after that... there just wasn't anything left to watch. Except for the cute dogs... a much needed comic relief. The entire rest of the film was disappointing and I think it was marketed way wrong.
